GARY LEWIS SINGS EVERYBODY LOVES A CLOWN

[windycitygal1000]

Thanks for posting this. I got to see Gary at Chicagfest a few years back. I always hope each year that he would be on the telethon.

[milarpro]

@windycitygal1000 I agree! How many attended at the Chicagofest? Laura ( :

Ditto Bluegrass!! And I am a player. Have been for years. When you spend time learning and playing covers that people want to hear it does not take long to realize the music scene has been a dripping sewer pipe for several years.

Great Stuff. Love it!!

All of a sudden, I'm back at a very special time in my life, visiting a park in Illinois (Arcola, Illinois) and discovering that, in two hours, Gary Lewis would be playing. We had no idea and seeing him do his old hits was better than great. I think I'd trade all of my tomorrows for one more of those days. Thank you SO MUCH for posting, Laura.

[milarpro]

Thanks, Doug, for your comment. By the way, I use to live in Oakland, Illinois...just a little ways from Arcola (In the 80;s). Where was the park you saw Gary Perform? I hope he'll perform here in Florida again. You are so right...he puts on an unforgettable show and takes you back in time. Hope you saw the other videos I posted of this same concert. Thanks again!

thank you very much for posting the songs of gary lewis songs. it reminds me so much of my college days.this is one of the favorites of my spouse whom we met in college.

[milarpro]

Thanks so much for your nice comment. I love sharing videos that bring back wonderful memories! Laura (:

[Candismilesalot]

Thank you for the share... This is great, nice to see him all grown up, but my favorite is the one with the little girls, where his dad introduces the song, and sounds like he had a nip of the bubblycheer....nice!

[milarpro]

Thanks for commenting! I'd love to see him in concert again and get more video to share! Laura (:

[bluugrass]

my parents raised me listening to these guys. im only 24 and i love the music from the 60's . so much more meaningful then music of today.

[milarpro]

Thanks so much for a your comment! I love to hear from young people like yourself who really appreciate classics like this one! Thanks again! Laura (:

[winterlandboy]

@bluugrass Well thats in the eye of the beholder.In 30 years time maybe the kids will be saying that" they don't make em like Lady( boy) Gaga,or Usher anymore"

I agree with you that the muisic from that period was far better than lots today but still,it's subjective.Things have to move on.

[mdefil23]

I just discovered Gary because of Pandora (Iphone) really love Palisade's Park and this song too.

[milarpro]

Thanks so much for commenting! Gary's music is loved by all generations and you prove that. Laura (:

[rryan1123]

its not the first time gary performed in the philippines,he's been performing here almost every 2 years and the people here loved him.

[milarpro]

Thanks for the info...I wasn't aware of that about Gary. (My father was born in the Philippines...my grandmother was filipino) Thanks, again for getting back with me! Laura (:

[rryan1123]

gary loved the philippines,he used to be married to a filipina

[milarpro]

That's interesting. Where did you obtain that bit of info? Please let us know! Thanks for your comment. Laura (:

[rryan1123]

its all over local t.v here,he's in the philippines right now and is having a concert.(maybe it was 3 days ago,i'm not sure when i saw the news if it was last week or 2-3 days ago)

[milarpro]

That's interesting! I just saw the philippines tour dates on his website. Was his concert very far from where you are? Thanks so much, Laura (:

[chepechalo2000]

[milarpro]

Thanks so much for your comment! Laura (:

[gcdcjccc]

believe it or not this was my favorite song when I was six years old, I played the 45 over and over and over until I was ten. then along came Black Sabbath, Led Zepplin, Alice Cooper and the Stones. Gary Lewis and the Playboys forever man!

[milarpro]

Thanks so much for your great comment! It's interesting the trends of music and what stays with us. Thanks again! Laura (:

[DMuMajor]

My favorite Jerr Lewis movie is The Nutty Proffessor. A classic!

[milarpro]

I loved them all but "The Ladies Man" was my favorite! Thanks for commenting! Laura (:

[COMCHAMP]

Read up about him-He made it without anyone knowing he was Jerry Lewis' son-nobody knew about that until after he hit it big. I met him briefly-a really nice guy-and was stunned at how good the band was. I was at a show that a lot of bands from the '60's and '70's like April Wine and BST played, and Gary held his own. Good to see he still is having fun at it....

[milarpro]

Thanks for the interesting comments. Did you check out the "Mustang Sally" clip? Great instrumental in that one. I agree, the band is really great and they put a lot work and effort into every show. Thanks again.

Laura (:

Hi Milarpro, Was this video taken at the Volusia County Fair back in 2007? I was there too. Saw both shows as a matter of fact. Keep up the good work.

[milarpro]

Hi Steve, We were there! As you can see we were on the front row to the left. I also posted other clips from this performance. I hope they come back, don't you? Thanks so much for your nice comments! Laura (o:

[trusttheprocess80]

gary wrote this song for his dad? fantastic!! I love Jerry Lewis, is my favorite clown!!!jejej I love this song.

[milarpro]

Me too! Thanks for commenting. Laura

[jade0425]

gary wrote this song for his dad? well, all that i can say is that i've never really liked jerry. and amongst all of the kids of the celebrities, most of which have NO talent, gary lewis just shines. he had so very many good songs. his daddy should be really proud.

[milarpro]

Thanks for commenting,jade0425. I never met Gary but he seems like a genuine guy. I also admire that he continues to perform and keep an era of music alive for us to enjoy!

Laura (:

Thanks. I live in Orlando, so I may check him out next time he comes to the fair.

[carlyle688]

Was this recently? I didn't know he was still performing.

[milarpro]

Yes! He was at the Volusia County Fairgrounds (Tommy Lawrence Arena) in Deland, Fl November of last year. It was a really good show and he looks good!
